TEST QUESTION: In your opinion, how does Joy Harjo’s journey through middle school and high school in the Crazy Brave section entitled “North” compare/contrast with Xiomara’s (fictional) journey through school in The Poet X? In your opinion, what is the single most important difference or similarity — and how does it shape Joy Harjo’s understanding of herself and the world as an artist?
Remember: the test is open notes, open dictionary, open internet–so look up key words on dictionary.com if needed.
Remember: it’s crucial to weave in a variety of quotes and examples from the assigned reading for this week to support and defend your answer. And a few from The Poet X. Don’t just quote from one page or paragraph alone.
Remember: take a few minutes to brainstorm, outline, flowchart, and/or gather key quotes before you begin writing–so that you can answer the whole question quickly and completely in paragraph one.
ESSAY TEST RULES (Reminders)
FORMAT: Tests must be written in essay format – in complete sentences and paragraphs. However, no title, intro, or “conclusion” is needed. Just answer the question immediately. Typically answers vary between 3-6 paragraphs in length. No MLA citations or page number citations are required or expected.
GRADING SCALE: Tests are graded on how well you explain and support your answer with brief quotes, examples, and logical explanations.
PROOFREADING COUNTS! Tests require careful proofreading: spelling, grammar, and punctuation all “count” and errors will be penalized.
